A Father Was Murdered & Politicians Are Blaming Each Other. Canada's Justice System Is BROKEN

⏱ Estimated Read Time: 3 minutes

Yo, I’m slowly starting to sound like one of those ‘sky is falling’ crime commentators, but honestly, the sky isn’t just falling—it’s on fire. You’ve probably heard the tragic story of Abdul Aleem Farooqi in Kleinburg. Robbers broke into his home, took his daughter hostage. He intervened, got shot, and died. The suspects are still on the run.

This happened just a few days ago in Kleinburg, a really nice neighborhood north of Vaughan. This man likely saved up a lifetime for that home, only for criminals to try and take something from him and, ultimately, take his life. It’s a truly heartbreaking story.

And what’s the immediate fallout? Depending on where you look, you’ll hear all the voices, everyone blaming everyone else. The province blames the feds for weaker bail laws. Conservatives blame Liberals, claiming ‘you guys brought in way too many immigrants, and this is what happens.’ Then Liberals turn around and blame the province, saying ‘you don’t have enough judges, your jails are overcrowded, and you have nowhere to put these people. It’s not the laws; it’s your capacity!’

Honestly, I’m tired of all of it. I don’t care about the blame game anymore. Here’s what I observe, and here’s what I want to see fixed:

First, bail needs to be much harder to get. If you’re charged, you should sit in jail. You need to be held for more than just a pack of M&M’s or a McDonald’s burger, which is what it feels like these guys are let out for. It’s insane how many people are caught re-offending, time and time again.

Second, when people do get caught, I think we need to bring back mandatory minimum sentences. People simply aren’t scared to commit crimes anymore. There’s no real deterrent.

On top of that, we desperately need Castle Laws. We need laws that allow you to protect your family, your home, and your belongings without fear. It’s insane to think that someone can break into your house and your first thought has to be, ‘Am I even allowed to defend myself, or can all I do is yell and scream and hope the police get here in time?’ They might not, especially if you’re on hold with 911 because of dispatcher shortages, which the province isn’t ponying up money to fix.

And let’s talk about gun laws. Currently, you can own a gun and have ammo, but if someone breaks in, you have to go on a scavenger hunt, unlocking different safes and lockboxes just to assemble your firearm. And even then, the weapons criminals have are often far more powerful than what you legally possess. Again, insane. I’m not advocating that we all have M16s or ARs at the ready, but currently, the gun laws don’t favor you or your family if you want to use them to protect yourself.

The number of people in my community, the number of people I know who have been targeted in extortion cases, who have had their houses shot up – it’s unacceptable. It’s not right. Just fix it!

I want all three levels of government—everyone who wants to point the finger—to do what you can to fix it. I want the province to fix it, the municipalities to fix it, and the feds to fix it. I don’t care who you want to point your fingers at. I don’t care if you wear a red tie or a blue tie. I don’t care about any of that political nonsense. What we have right now is not working, and it needs to be fixed. You all need to get together and fix it, because this is just getting ridiculous, sad, and desperate. That’s just how I feel about it today. Hopefully, you guys are still having a dope day, though. Till the next one.

Ai Header Image Prompt: A high-quality, highly detailed, dramatic image in a cinematic neo-noir style with significant abstract digital art elements. The central focus is a powerful, protective father figure, subtly silhouetted or with his face partially obscured for universal representation, his arms extended in a gesture of shielding an implied or partially visible family (perhaps a child's hand) within a home environment. The background elements of the home are fragmented and distorted, suggesting a breach or unseen danger, with subtle hints of shattered glass or ominous shadows. Above and around the family, abstract digital art elements evoke a broken justice system and political discord: fragmented scales of justice, intertwined and pulling red and blue lines or threads, and blurred, crumbling governmental structures. A sense of urgency and despair is conveyed through a dark, high-contrast color palette, punctuated by fractured, urgent light. Ensure all depicted human figures have natural-looking hands, fingers, and limbs, avoiding any overtly AI-generated appearance. The overall composition should be symbolic and somewhat abstract, conveying a feeling of a world in chaos and injustice. No bold titles or text are present within the image.
